Mike Clay of ESPN recently came out with his 2021 NFL Strength of Schedule rankings and there's a familiar team near the top. Your Atlanta Falcons come in to the new season with the second easiest schedule.
Now, before you start celebrating in the streets, this is still the National Football League. Even the worst of teams can quickly turn things around - the phrase "Any Given Sunday" exists for a reason.
Nick Kayal saw these rankings and gave his thoughts on the matter. He added the question, are the Falcons good enough to take advantage? Nick says no. This team still has far too many issues on the offensive line and on defense.
Now with the addition of Kyle Pitts, we could be talented enough on offense to make the issues seemingly disappear. If this team could jump into the realm of a Big-12 team and just score score score, maybe they could sneak into the playoffs.
